1. A mobile computing device, comprising:
- a processor;
a computer-readable storage medium;
a location-based reminder application stored on the computer-readable storage medium to receive user input setting a target location for a reminder item, and provide a location-based reminder for the reminder item when a current location of the mobile computing device is within a predefined distance of the target, the location-based reminder application to accept the reminder item from an application other than the location-based reminder application;
an alarm manager stored on the computer-readable storage medium to receive current location information at a frequency based on the size of the target location; and
an attention manager stored on the computer-readable storage medium to provide the location-based reminder application with an alarm message indicating that the current location of the mobile computing device is within the predefined distance from the target location.

7. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
-
receiving, by a processor, a user input to a location-based reminder application setting a target location for a reminder item, the location-based reminder application is to accept the reminder item from an application other than the location-based reminder application; providing, by the processor, a location-based reminder for the reminder item when a current location of the mobile computing device is within a predefined distance of the target location; receiving, by the processor, current location information at a frequency based on the size of the target location; and providing, by the processor, an alarm message from an attention manager to the location-based reminder application, the alarm message indicating that the current location of the mobile computing device is within the predefined distance from the target location. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. An article comprising a computer-readable storage medium containing instructions that, when executed by a processor, enable a system to:
-
receive a user input to a location-based reminder application setting a target location for a reminder item, the location-based reminder application to accept the reminder item from an application other than the location-based reminder application; provide a location-based reminder for the reminder item when a current location of the mobile computing device is within a predefined distance of the target location; receive current location information at a frequency based on the size of the target location; and provide an alarm message from an attention manager to the location-based reminder application, the alarm message indicating that the current location of the mobile computing device is within the predefined distance from the target location. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
